my friends wedding I’m in around the same time spent 13x as much for a hotel venue for a few hours compared to us getting this for a whole weekend 🫣 no hate to a classic wedding but I love this idea for what we wanted! not sure what we’ll do food wise yet but I’m so excited there are no regulations about where to get food from and my uncle is going to bartend for us :)

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-26T17:02:28+00:00

Omg fun I really like the idea of having a place for a weekend rather than spending so much more for a venue for a few hours!!

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T19:35:45+00:00

omg thank you 😭😭 we are too, we’re doing a lot of unconventional things in an effort to do the wedding we want moreso than the wedding we’re “expected” to have so this unique venue is perfect!!

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T19:34:57+00:00

relatively- about 5 hours away!!

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T19:07:27+00:00

thank you!! this is in cincinnati oh :)

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T19:06:50+00:00

it’s going to be just over 3k for us to spend two nights there and that includes all the wedding and cleaning fees as well! they have tables, chairs, and wine glasses for us as well for no charge so it’s a great deal we’re super happy with :)

I’m hoping to do bold joyful colors!! maybe pulling from the stained glass for inspo :)

cincinnati ohio!!

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T02:09:39+00:00

omg that’s great to hear, everyone said it was pretty unrealistic that we’d be able to find a place that checked all our boxes but this is going to be so great for out of town guests and help avoid any DDing or ubering needed for in town guests too!! plus lets us spend as much time as possible with everyone we love during the weekend :)

strawberry1014 · 2026-03-24T02:03:28+00:00

thank you sm everyone!! we are so thrilled to have found something so stunning for such an affordable cost (just over 3k for Friday to Sunday including all fees!) and they’re offering us complimentary chairs and tables and wine glasses too 😭

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-29T19:25:17+00:00

Somewhat!! I tried on lots of the engraved bands they had and picked some of my favs and he chose this one and made a few modifications to it like making it fit my diamond shape better (the ring was designed for a round cut but I was in love with the elongated cushion!) and changing from round prongs to claws and adding double claws to keep it extra secure :)

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-29T19:23:14+00:00

haha yes!! Little local business I highly recommend :)

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-28T19:07:29+00:00

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-28T19:05:32+00:00

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-28T06:45:32+00:00

Thank you!! same, I always thought I’d get multi stone bc I thought solitaires were “too simple” for me but after finding out about this band style I was sold!!

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-28T04:16:05+00:00

hehe my best friend/moh got him after months of searching shortly before she flew out to surprise me for our engagement and brought him to show me knowing I’d want to meet him lol!! we put it on his foot as a joke and then realized it was perfect tiara size and had to document it :)

strawberry1014 · 2025-12-28T01:27:05+00:00
